When seated, the body should be upright, elbows do not put on the table, not stilted feet, and the distance from the table in order to facilitate the use of tableware is preferred. Do not fiddle with the tableware that has already been placed on the table. Fold the napkin in half and place it gently on your lap.

When using a knife and fork to eat, take the knife and fork from the outside to the inside, hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand; when cutting something, hold the fork in the left hand to hold down the food, hold the knife in the right hand to cut it into small pieces, and then send it into the mouth with the fork. When using a knife, the blade should not be pointed outwards. When you put down your knife and fork during a meal, they should be placed in the shape of a figure of eight, respectively, on the side of the plate. The blade of the knife should be pointed towards you to indicate that you want to continue eating. After each dish, put your knife and fork together on your plate. If you are having a conversation, you can hold the knife and fork without putting them down. When you are not using a knife, you can hold the fork in your right hand, but if you need to make a gesture, you should put down the knife and fork, never wave the knife and fork in the air, never hold the knife or fork in one hand while wiping your mouth with a napkin in the other, and never hold the wine glass in one hand while picking up the food with the fork in the other. Remember, at no time should one end of the knife or fork be placed on the plate and the other on the table.
While eating, lean your upper arms and back against the back of your chair and keep your stomach about a fist's distance from the table. Sitting with your feet crossed is best avoided.

When you finish eating the soup, leave the spoon in the soup plate (bowl) with the handle pointing towards you.
4. When eating fish, meat and other dishes with thorns or bones, do not spit directly out, but use a napkin to cover your mouth and gently spit on a fork and put it into the plate. If a small amount of dishes remaining in the plate, do not use a fork to scrape the bottom of the plate, and do not use your fingers to help eat, should be a small piece of bread or fork to help eat. When eating noodles, use a fork to roll them up first and then bring them to your mouth.
5. Bread is usually broken into small pieces and put into the mouth, do not take the whole piece of bread to bite. When spreading butter and jam, break the bread into small pieces before spreading.
